Title: Driving device for a disconnecting and earthing switch in a switchgear panel
Inventor: GRONEMANN KARL-HEINZ
IPC: H02B13/00
Filed: 1994-04-19
Abstract: A driving device for a disconnecting or earthing switch (17) incorporates driving parts (25) that can be actuated by means of a coupling set (23) by a hand crank (20).

Title: Equipment for forming ordered groups of articles from a generally flat flow of articles, particularly for automatic packaging systems
Inventor: PEDROTTO GIANFRANCO
IPC: B65G21/20
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: The articles, which move towards the equipment in a disorganised two-dimensionalflow, are conveyed to a channelling unit comprising a plurality of vertical blades, the upstream ends of which are preferably given a vibratory movement so as to assist the formation of lines of articles side by side in the channels between adjacent blades.  The downstream end of the channelling unit is formed as a chute and a rotary distributor is arranged at its output end. The articles coming fromthe output end of the channelling unit form ordered groups along the faces of the distributor. The stepwise rotation of the distributor causes the ordered groups of articles to drop into an underlying channel. This channel has movable walls which enable it to deposit the groups of articles on an underlying conveyor and which also follows the movement of the conveyor during the deposition of the groups of articles.

Patent CA-2166268-A1 (CA)
Title: Utility Knife
Inventor: QUINN CHARLES E
IPC: B26B5/00
Filed: 1995-12-28
Abstract: A utility knife includes a hollow handle for retractably housing a blade mounted on a blade carrier. The blade carrier is pivotally coupled to an actuator.  A user can extend or retract the blade through a front slot by depressing an actuating button and sliding the actuator along an actuator glideway and blade carrier along a carrier glideway to a desired position.  Once in the desired position a resilient member on the actuator urges protrusions on the actuator into engagement with detents provided within the handle.  The blade carrier glideway is provided in an non-parallel orientation with respect to the actuator glideway to obtain a beneficial force transmission to the actuator that tends to maintain engagement between the actuator and the detents. A blade guard at least partially surrounds the front slot to resist upward forces on the blade during cutting, while a carrier guard contacts a portion of the cutting edge of the blade within the handle to protect the carrier from damage by the blade. The blade carrier and the actuator include abutment surfaces for effectively transmitting axial compression forces on the blade from the carrier to the actuator without exerting excessive force on the joint between the carrier and the actuator. The actuator is substantially rigid and is urged into engagement with the detents by a resilientmember, thereby avoiding deflection of the actuator as a result of axial compression forces exerted on the blade.

Filed: 1996-12-12
Abstract: The present invention involves a self-cleaning air filter assembly for an internal combustion engine.  An air stream is directed into an air filter housing and a portion of the air stream is filtered by an air filter assembly which may include one or more filter media and the remaining portion of the air stream is discharged from the air filter housing through an exit opening.  Particulates contained within the excess air are discharged along with the excess air through the exit openings and are not deposited on the air filter.  Vibration of the air filter due to operation of the engine also loosens previously filtered particulates which are also discharged through the exit openings with the excess air. The cleaned air which is passed through the air filter is used in the combustion process.
